Please don’t mistreat animals

AFTER seeing a dog being hit for not doing what its owner wanted, I felt the need to make a plea to all readers.

Please, if your dog is not trained to how you want it to behave, go to a training school or get a trainer to come to you or even buy a dog training book. A dog learns by positive reinforcement, letting them know when they did something right, not by being hit for doing something wrong.

How do they know what’s right if they’re not taught? A bit of time, patience and perseverance will pay off.

Also, if anyone suspects that a dog or any animal is being mistreated report it to the RSPCA. Animals don’t have a voice, we have to speak for them.
